My mom has a great recipe for it, but I wanted to venture out and find something different. Yesterday we had a church chili cookoff and pie contest associated with a fall fun fair and I wanted something a little different for it instead of the usual meaty chili. So I found this recipe and tweaked it to our family's liking. This one was a hit and not only with my family. Apparently the judges and the crowd thought it was pretty good too!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
2 cans of white northern beans, drained and rinsed
2 onions, chopped
3 apples, cut in tiny chunks, you don't need to peel them
3 yellow bell peppers, chopped
1 mild red chili pepper, chopped and seeded (for extra spice you could always use the hot variety or even a jalapeno)
3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
3 T butter
2 tsp chili powder (again, more if you like it hot)
1/2 tsp ground thyme
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cups chicken broth (I used homemade but feel free to use canned stock)
1/2 cup plain non fat yogurt
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)-I didn't use the cheese this time.
Put the butter into the bottom of your crockpot. Dump in the drained and rinsed beans. Chop up the onion , peppers, garlic, and the apples. Add the spices, and pour in the broth. Stir in the yogurt.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5. This is done when the onion has reached desired tenderness and the flavors have come together. Stir in the cheddar cheese before serving.
after cook-off. You can see how much was eaten.
